I think svelte 5 is an actual innovation, it does not behave or feel like a “framework” to me. It feels like a natural extension of building an front end with raw html, css, js, solving the headaches you eventually hit when you do so.
Optimist take, the tech is shit and the people like Trump not JD Vance.
Cryptocurrency = Not being used as a currency, doesn’t even meet the criteria for a true medium of exchange.
AI = Can’t actually be used to automate these federal worker’s jobs, it’s snake oil.
Most importantly, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, although quite powerful and influential right now, are NOTHING without Trump. And as michael Bloomberg showed us, money alone doesn’t win elections.
Seriously this is a very well written article and the concerns are real, especially around the degradation of our institutions over the past 50+ years. But if you put JD Vance, Elon, or Peter thiel in front of your average American, the response will be a more derogatory form of “neurodivergent freak”.
In 1-2 years I’m predicting democrats take back the senate and house, 4 years we get a younger more normal democratic president. Hopefully most of the old neo lib democrats die off and we get more smart charged up dems like AOC, Buttigieg, and the fella from Georgia who will actually tell these rich bastards to stuff it.
Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that you should probably be using a button.
I am saying that all people, including neurodivergent people, have personal agency in what kind of work they choose to do. If you work a job that is primarily meaningless work, that’s your choice. My original comment was to say that you have a choice to not work dull jobs, and it is imperative as a nd person to not do it as you will lose. If instead you take a little personal responsibility for your life’s direction, and do work that plays to your strengths, work is easy. Probably true for all people, but absolutely essential for thriving as a neurodivergent person.
Ive got a pretty intense ADHD. This article is vaguely offputting to me. I think it makes it out to be that neurodivergent people need to be baby’d in some way.
From my perspective, I think neurodivergent people can’t stand doing things without purpose. A lot of jobs are truly meaningless, dull, uninteresting, especially in the office space. People with ADHD and ASD should not be doing these jobs. You need to find your strengths and interests and work towards that. You should never work a job that you deep down think is bullshit as a ND individual, this is the equivalent of a death sentence. Find something you are passionate about and you can do better work then any normie no matter how loud or fluorescent the office is.
One thing nearly every American agrees on is if you’re a citizen, you’re American. It’s actually an extremely welcoming and beautiful thing about this country.
